What Fullerton Free (EvFree Fullerton) does

Fullerton Free Church, operating under the brand names Fullerton Free and EvFree Fullerton, is a non-profit religious organization headquartered at 2801 Brea Boulevard in Fullerton, California. The organization operates a single-campus ministry portfolio that spans Sunday worship services at 9:30am with an 11:00am community hour in small groups, age-segmented ministries for Kids, Students (middle school and high school), Adults (including College & Young Adults, Singles, Senior Adults, and Mentoring), a Special Needs Ministry, a Spanish-language ministry (Ministerio En Español), Worship & Creative Arts, Care, and Missions (local outreach and global missions). The ministry is supported by a digital ecosystem that includes a livestream, the Say More Podcast, sermon archives, the Fullerton Free App, the Direct Connect member portal (powered by Church Community Builder), an eNews newsletter, and Pushpay for online giving.

The church's commercial activity extends well beyond traditional worship through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fullerton Free Preschool, which operates as a state-licensed non-profit childcare center under California licenses #304270035, #304270036, and #304371270, serving children from six weeks through six years of age with programs that include infant/toddler care, preschool, a Reggio-inspired Transitional Kindergarten, and summer programs. A Sports Ministry offers organized leagues including pickleball, men's basketball, hiking, restorative yoga, and adaptive sports leagues (GoalStars soccer and HoopStars basketball) for players with disabilities ages 7 and older. The physical campus — including a worship center, preschool facility, gym, pickleball courts, and sports fields — is also monetized through venue rental for weddings, memorials, conferences, and graduations.

Revenue is generated across four primary streams: recurring voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation (processed via Pushpay), recurring monthly preschool tuition, one-time sports program registration fees, and transactional campus venue rental. The organization employs 41 people and operates as an independent non-profit with no disclosed parent company, holding entity, institutional investors, or ownership structure. There is no evidence of funding rounds, M&A activity, or external capital in the source data.
